Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted Quaderno MCP server for calculating sales tax and reading or creating invoices, contacts, products, receipts and expenses.

What you can do
  • Calculate the applicable VAT, GST or US sales tax for a sale by customer location and product
  • List and fetch invoices, credit notes, receipts and expenses
  • List and fetch contacts (customers and vendors) and catalog products
  • List tax codes, tax jurisdictions and configured webhooks
  • Create or update contacts, create products, invoices and sale/refund transactions
  • Run a raw read-only GET against any other Quaderno API path, and check usage or manage the subscription
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to look up Quaderno billing records, answer tax-rate questions for a given jurisdiction, or draft invoices and transactions from a chat client without opening the Quaderno dashboard.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no local install. Sign-in is via OAuth, and on first connect you paste your Quaderno API key and account subdomain, which are stored per user. Add only the server URL to the client config, not an API key or Authorization header. A free plan allows 50 tool calls per month; paid plans are available.
Before you install
Write tools create or change Quaderno data: contacts, products, invoices and transactions, which can produce compliant tax documents. Confirm before running them. The server also offers subscription upgrade and cancel tools that return payment links and can incur charges; the free tier is metered and paid plans are billed per month or year. Your Quaderno API key and account data are handled by the third-party host.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Quaderno MCP by usefulapi in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.usefulapi%2Fquaderno/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Live endpoint: https://quaderno.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/quaderno

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://quaderno.usefulapi.io/mcp.

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Quaderno credentials.
